A video of the police officer shaving a homeless men went viral after it was posted by the Tallahassee Police Department on their Facebook page. Kelly Duvall, the lady behind the camera, saw Officer Carlson helping out a man and his reasons to do so are wonderful.

Officer Carlson revealed he encountered Phil, the homeless man, when he was trying to apply for a job at McDonalds. Phil told the officer that the manager demanded he got rid of his beard and only then he would be considered for the position.

Carlson told the Tallahassee Democrat that he saw Phil struggling to shave without a mirror or a proper razor. He couldn't stand aside when he knew the man needed him.

The officer then went on to fix the razor and shave Phil himself because he wanted to help out anyway he could.
